who can remember this Helicopter game from the 80's???

[Wali]

Hey there...I have been trying to figure out the name of a helicopter game I used to play when I was a kid. It was a stand up game, had a helicopter style joystick, and the screen was from the POV of the helicopter pilot. All I remember is that it was set in New York - because as the game started you would fly over the statue of Liberty. Can anyone help me? I want to find this and buy it! For some reason I thought it might have been called Cobra Command....but then I saw a Cobra Command and it wasnt what I was talking about. And its not Thunder Blade in case you were going to say that. Remember, you cant see the helicopter, its the POV of the pilot. Thanks.

Are you SURE it wasn't Cobra Command? There WERE 2 arcade games called Cobra Command (both released by the SAME company x_x )

This sure looks like what you're describing:

Cobra Command on the Atari 2600 has NOTHING to do with Cobra Command at the arcade.

The opening scene in Cobra Command takes place in New York City. It is a FMV game.

In Japan, the game was called "Thunderstorm".

I have the game for my Sega CD. It's not bad -- but it still feels a little creepy seeing the WTC so up close and personal every time you play. I can't think of any other game where you can see them THAT close (except for Command and Conquer Red Alert 2).

Pretty sure it's that one, Wali- check your source again. It'd help if you said whether it's Laserdisc or not.
